Mass Burials Begin at Quake Epicenter in Turkey; GOP Takes on Biden’s Waters of the US Rule

The death toll from the massive earthquake in Turkey and Syria has climbed past 19,000. At the epicenter, survivors began burying their loved ones.

Representatives are moving closer to challenging President Joe Biden’s new rule defining the Waters of the United States. They say the rule is an example of bureaucratic overreach.

Anger is growing in Turkey over the government’s response to the massive earthquake earlier this week, especially how the country is using funds from its earthquake tax. Turkish economists estimate the disaster fund is worth more than $35 billion.
